Experimentation

Green Screen

We have decided to try and develop our media skills buy using a green screen in our music video and before filming for our product we tried some experimentation to get use to it. We also brainstormed some ideas of backgrounds that we could use with the green screen footage. Some ideas that we would like to experiment with and possibly use in the music video are glitter backgrounds as they're are stereotypically girly. We also liked the idea of having a kaleidoscope effect with a different colour for each member.


We would like to use the green screen with a split screen so beth started to experiment with that effect.

We also think that sparkles would be very conventional and draw in a younger audince.

What we learnt with the experimentation was how the actors had to be far away from the green screen to avoid shadows. Also we will have to pull the green screen so it doesn't have wrinkles, because otherwise the green screen doesn't work. We also found lots of youtube tutorials to help us with the editing. Futhermore in future filming we have to be aware of the costumes and that they stand out against the green background.
